The header was accepted with >exit = 'ud-lexit exec', but the exit wasn't called. The SYSVARS files are processed by the REXX interpreter (lines starting with an asterisk are ignored). So the rules are the same as for any REXX program, and indeed you have to use quotes if a string contains an arithmetic operator. In the list header, you just write the name of the exit: * Exit= UD-LEXIT >Also, LSVPUT didn't work for sending the exit and the file the exit >mails out to Listserv--some message to the effect it didn't know where >to put them. LSVPUT is a single interface to two commands, PUT and PUTC. You use PUT to update LISTSERV files (agendas, notebooks, etc). To update CMS files that aren't available via GET, you must use PUTC. So, LSVPUT UD-LEXIT EXEC A (PUTC should work. Eric
